Dolphins S Walt Aikens wants to earn a bigger role on defense in 2016.

Aikens opened the season as the starting free safety following Louis Delmas' ACL tear, but he was quickly benched. Aikens continued to make plays on special teams despite the demotion, and he should be given a shot to win a bigger defensive role this summer. Even if Aikens is able to take a step forward, Miami needs serious help in the secondary. Feb 16 - 9:22 AM

Walt Aikens will take over as the Dolphins' free safety following Louis Delmas' ACL tear.

Delmas managed 63 tackles in 13 games at this position last year; SS Reshad Jones is the IDP to target in Miami's secondary. A converted cornerback who was drafted in the fourth round two Mays ago, Aikens stands 6-foot-1, 203 and has 4.49 speed. We don't think he'll be an enormous downgrade from Delmas.

The Miami Herald reports the Dolphins have been impressed with second-year S Walt Aikens' "maturation" this offseason.

The 2014 fourth-rounder was suspended last Week 17 for an unspecified violation of team rules. He was primarily a special teamer as a rookie, but did contribute 64 snaps on defense. Aikens won't open the year as a starter, but could emerge as the leader for snaps behind Reshad Jones and Louis Delmas. Thu, May 28, 2015 09:58:00 PM

The Dolphins made DB Walt Aikens a healthy scratch in Week 17 for a violation of team rules.

Aikens was expected to be a core contributor in Sunday's loss to the Jets. Instead, he didn't play at all. Primarily a special teamer, Aikens did earn defensive snaps down the stretch of his rookie season. There are no indications that Aiken's rules violation is a concern for his long-term outlook in Miami. Sun, Dec 28, 2014 09:33:00 PM

Jordan Cameron (concussions, injured reserve) will make a decision about his NFL future after the season.

"I'm not shutting the door on anything," Cameron said. "I'm going to wait until after the season. I'm kind of glad I get to talk to you because everyone's counting me out — he's done, he's retiring. No, I'm not. I'll think about that after the season. That's really all I have to say about it." Cameron has suffered four documented concussions as a pro, but says his most recent one was not the most severe. He also believes he's still in his physical prime. If he keeps playing, Cameron will become a free agent in March.

So is Laremy Tunsil (shoulder). Both were absent last week against the Niners. According to Rapoport, Albert is expected to play with a cast on his injured wrist. It's a boost to Jay Ajayi's rushing outlook, though he still has a difficult matchup against Baltimore's front seven.
